Breaking the Mother Goose Code | Free Book
How a Fairy-Tale Character Fooled the World for 300 Years
Who was Mother Goose? Where did she come from, and when? Although
she’s one of the most beloved characters in Western literature, Mother
Goose’s origins have seemed lost in the mists of time. Several have
tried to pin her down, claiming she was the mother of Charlemagne, the
wife of Clovis (King of the Franks), the Queen of Sheba, or even
Elizabeth Goose of Boston, Massachusetts. Others think she’s related
to mysterious goose-footed statues in old French churches called
“Queen Pedauque.” This book delves deeply into the surviving evidence
for Mother Goose’s origins – from her nursery rhymes and fairy tales
as well as from relevant historical, mythological, and anthropological
data. Until now, no one has ever confidently identified this
intriguing yet elusive literary figure. So who was the real Mother
Goose? The answer might surprise you.
